Curse

I been trying to think of an intresting elemantalist spell, and past inpiration has shown me the very bright light

Thermonuclear Explosion - 25 energy i dont know about the cast yet and 60 recharge so it isn't abused

Basically once cast, you caster bascially blows up, and you do a huge amount of damage to all foes in the aggro bubble radius

I've been trying to think of a formula or something for damage, that way it gets less and less powerful and yes my idea for this is non-elite and won't cause exhaustion.. but here is the thing, it's sacrficing yourself, so yea you will get a dealth penilty, one reason it's hard to figure out damage is for pve and pvp, since i can see lots of crazy suicide eles, but i think the dp and recharge might stop them a bit.

Also this would require 4 energy storage or more or guess what you get the 50% chance of *open the card* failing to do damage, but still blowing yourself up, so yeah don't abuse it, or you are going to be dead lol.

Another reason it's been hard to figure out.. has been the possiblity of echo.. but i guess since you blow up that shouldn't be too bad of an issue, so hmm ok heres a simple forumla: tell me if you think its kinda bad

x = energy y = health

(5x) - (Default health at current level - y)

um yeah thats my idea lol i mean it gives you a death penalty so its not that great, and not to be abused by.. the 55 ele?

The power diminishes as your keep blowing yourself up.. so its not so uber, just an intresting twist, as you wouldn't want to die too early, yet not blow up too late, as it would be a waist since if you have like one health left you'll really only do.. well check this example

your energy max is 70, but you have 1 health left out of.. lets says 300 or something

(5 times 70) - ( 300-1)

350 - 299 =

51 damage.. i know it sounds junky but if your going to die anyway might as well go out with a bang, besides thats at one health left.

So what do you guys think?

I don't think people who run around with stick weapons and use magic have managed to harness the powers of the atom just yet.

Also, this would only EoE bombs ridiculously powerful.

unholy guardian · Jun 12, 2006, 01:39 AM // 01:39

not have you get the lovely 60 dp, besides just a cool name lol, blowing yourself up outta be easier than making a spirit anyday anyway... just think to yourself...JEEERRROOOY JEEEEKIIINS... and the power to blow yourself up will come to you

Nevin · Jun 12, 2006, 02:34 AM // 02:34

This is an over all bad idea. Sorry for my bluntness.

unholy guardian · Jun 12, 2006, 02:39 AM // 02:39

:P well yeah it isn't so great, but heck it be awesome way to ragequit

floppinghog · Jun 12, 2006, 02:44 AM // 02:44

should come up with something like energy blast, opposite of burn, burn your own energy to do dmg times X amount... all that extra storage could be put to some decent dps..

dreamhunk · Jun 12, 2006, 02:53 AM // 02:53

I love it great idea

unholy guardian · Jun 12, 2006, 02:56 AM // 02:56

floppinghog · Jun 12, 2006, 03:21 AM // 03:21

Or in the Necro skill tree:

Deal With Death: 15 / 8 / 60
Sacrifice 100% Health. Resurrect 1-4 nearby party members at 10-70% health and 10-50% energy.

actionjack · Jun 12, 2006, 04:06 AM // 04:06

Fun idea, but as described, doesn't seem to be workable with current game.

I would go with something like
Energy Outburst: 3c | 20E | 60C
Used up all the remain energy you have (beisde the casting of 20) For every extra energy you use up, you deal X more damage.

I don't think you quite understood me. The point would be to cast eoe, and then let the ele blow themselves up dealing tons of damage while the saccers do their thing, which would set off a chain reaction of EoE deaths.

xiaotsu · Jun 12, 2006, 06:04 AM // 06:04

"OMG ELES ARE TEH OVERPOWERED NERF DEM!!1"

That's what would happen

Also, if I had an ele on my team use that and I were the only with rez, I would leave them, they wanted to die, lol...there aren't really any enemy groups I would consider this worth using on.

Sounds pretty emo

Kaguya · Jun 12, 2006, 07:52 AM // 07:52

This would mess up Aspenwood totally, where DP is disabled.

Just run to the turtle-war squad and blow yourself up. Done. Wait ~5 secs, rez, run to next squad, boom.

Or for luxons, run to the gates, boom, next gate, boom, Gunther, boom.

And at Jade Quarry, run into the quarry, boom. :P

E/N Thermonuclear Explosion/Death Nova suicide bomber :P

maffa · Jun 12, 2006, 12:26 PM // 12:26

I can seriosly see it interfering with those who play PvE and try to keep a 100% zero death toll.

I'm sorry but I cant see people blowig themselves up for the greater good of the team. Maybe combine it with "caster is ressed after 60 secs with 5% health and 0% energy"

Might work, but still too many holes

makosi · Jun 12, 2006, 12:33 PM // 12:33

I think Suicide Bombing is a touchy subject in this day and age.

mqstout · Jun 12, 2006, 02:15 PM // 14:15

This is a bad idea. Look how it would combine with Edge of Extinction.

gabrial heart · Jun 12, 2006, 04:36 PM // 16:36

Ever hear of EOE Bombs? 105 necro, putrid + death nova + EOE ranger with Light of dwayna? Yeah been there done that

MDeshame · Jun 12, 2006, 06:06 PM // 18:06

My "I Win" skill can not be topped.
It costs 0 energy, instant cast, instant recharge. Can not be interupted, or dodged. Casting "I Win" results in caster winning.

Therefore:
1 Skill, 1 cast, total domination.
